“The skin I’m in looks good to me. It will let you know one small way to trace my identity. But then again the skin I’m in will always be just a covering. It cannot tell my story.” From “Skin Again” by Bell Hooks and Chris Raschka. #skinagain #bellhooks #chrisraschka #blacklivesmatter #weneeddiversebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5AcHenHWk/?igshid=iwqspeszi5ic

"All listening or talking, sitting or holding, being noisy or being quiet. Good help makes dying less hard." From "The Purple Balloon" by Chris Raschka. A beautiful little book on grief, which specifically touches on the death of a child. A great tool for tough conversations. #thepurpleballoon #chrisraschka #grief https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsHa4-H8sy/?igshid=13lxgwgfemr9e

Have you ever laughed way harder at a silly joke than you expected? If so, you'll love Chris Raschka's "Buggy Bug" (2014). Short and sweet, it's perfect for those times when your toddler insists on "just one more book" when you've more than had enough. This brief, light-hearted story literally reads like a ridiculous dad joke, with an ending that will have kids giggling and parents snorting despite themselves. The pictures are simple and colourful, with hilariously understated expression on the little bug. And the best part is, it's one of a whole series of similar little books, so you can keep a handful on hand for quick storytimes! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #buggybug #thingythings #chrisraschka #abramskids #abramskidsbooks #sillybug #jokes #sillykidsbooks #sillybooks #funnykidsbooks #funnybooks #funny #silly #bookbug #bugbook #toddlers #toddlerbook #toddlerbooks #toddler #jokesforkids #dadjokes #kidsjokes #toddlerjokes #childrensbookseries #childrensbook #littlebookworm #childrensbookillustration #readbabyread https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ICA1ugjaG/?igshid=1qrt1nbqbs1gc

📚What a cute book! I'm a fan of both author and illustrator so it makes sense I'd like this book. Margaret Wise Brown writes in rhyme about the importance of each year and the development that occurs in a young one's life starting with age one. As always Chris Raschka creates unique colorful diverse illustrations. It ends with an affirmation and a mirror- the most important part, no matter the age, is that it's you. ❤ #anotherimportantbook #margaretwisebrown #chrisraschka #childrensbook #childrensillustration #picturebook #bookreview #whatwearereading #libraryfind #oneofakind #growingup #developmental #earlychildhood #agesandstages #allaboutme #charactereducation https://www.instagram.com/p/BowJHbOH97F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ptlve7mfkoke
